I am in awe of the bravery of the Iranian people, who are standing up for their freedom against a brutal regime and decades of authoritarian, theocratic rule.

From Fall 2023, my first view of Bryce Canyon's surreal hoodoos combined with a forest of Bristlecone Pines, Ponderosa Pines, and Douglas Firs at Rainbow Point. #Scape #ForestFriday #Landscape #Nature #NationalParks #Utah

Abolish ICE

Brad Lander@bradlander.bsky.social

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Meanwhile, an ICE officer: -pulls a gun on innocent bystanders — in Hyattsville, MD. This is happening in America. Right now. What are we doing about this? It MUST stop.

Video below: “I am American. I am American.” A man pleads, “Ayúdame, ayúdame. Help me!” Meanwhile, an ICE officer pulls a gun on innocent bystanders — in Hyattsville, MD. This is happening in America. Right now. What are we doing about this? It MUST stop. @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats

You're getting a clear X-ray of America right now. Look at who this country's powerful institutions choose to elevate, venerate, and celebrate. Look at the double standards. Look at the people who adore Charlie Kirk - then spend five minutes reviewing his hateful legacy. This is America.

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power. The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.

This is not a coding error.

Library of Congress@librarycongress.bsky.social

It has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article 1 are missing from the Constitution Annotated (constitution.congress.gov) website. We’ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points: •Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus •Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which has distributed federal funds to both PBS and NPR for decades, announced Friday that it's shutting down. The news comes after President Donald Trump recently clawed back more than a billion dollars of funding for public broadcasting.

If you don't already, watch Colbert. He is a man with no more f*cks left to give. And it's glorious. Check out this song parody from last night's show: Mike Johnson Delays House Epstein Vote Until September

A worthy read on this most uncelebratory day, from Michael Ian Black.

I’m sour on my nation because the nation has soured on itself. As a people, we’ve decided to dissolve the uneasy bonds of comity between us. Rather than writing a peaceful sequel to the bloody 20th century, America began work on the prequel to "Mad Max." michaelianblack.substack.com/p/i-will-not...
